Chapter 9: Doesn't the Prince Understand My Feelings?
He looked at Chu Qianli again.
She was still looking at him, those big round eyes rolling about, so clear and bright.
It was the first time Feng Yexuan had realized that this woman's eyes were... actually quite beautiful.
He remained expressionless and withdrew his gaze, "Good."
"Good?" Chu Qianli was a bit slow to react.
Despite her terrible attitude, the usually haughty Yexuan had not gotten angry.
On the contrary, he calmly said a "good"?
What did that mean?
"This prince gives you three days' time!"
Having experienced the taste of being wronged, Feng Yexuan knew it was truly unpleasant.
As long as she could prove she had not drugged Jinrui, he would let bygones be bygones for this incident!
Feng Yexuan dropped these words and turned to leave.
But as he turned around, he heard the girl muttering behind him, "Money!"
Money?
Feng Yexuan frowned and turned to look at her.
But he saw Chu Qianli staring at his waist area, her eyes shining.
Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened, he said displeased, "If you dare to be disrespectful to this prince again, do not blame this prince for being impolite!"
With a wave of his sleeve, he turned and left.
Chu Qianli almost turned to stone.
What did he think she was staring at his waist for?
Did he think she was drooling over his body?
Her face couldn't help but feel slightly hot at the moment.
What she had seen was his gold-studded belt!
When she saw that belt, the System in her bracelet gave a ding, indicating that the belt could be matched with the trading system!
She could exchange his belt for money in the System, then buy things!
Her snacks, her skincare products, her clothes, her shoes, and bags...
She couldn't let the money daddy get away!
"Prince, wait a moment!"
Chu Qianli chased after him, but the front courtyard was empty; where could Feng Yexuan be?
——
Feng Yexuan had gone to Yujing Garden.
After Yu Linglong's treatment, Feng Jinrui was no longer in a serious condition.
Feng Yexuan had checked and indeed, there was nothing wrong with him.
"It was just that the aphrodisiac he took earlier clashed with the medicine he just took, causing him to vomit blood. It wasn't actual poisoning."
Yu Linglong looked at Feng Yexuan.
Every time she saw his exceptionally handsome face, her heartbeat still couldn't help but speed up.
So she took only one glance before immediately withdrawing her gaze.
"In the future, do not administer medicine recklessly before you understand the patient's condition; it could be dangerous," she said softly.
Upon hearing this, Consort Jin immediately harbored resentment, "It's all because of that idiot Chu Qianli!"
"What? It was the medicine given by Princess Yexuan that Prince Jinrui took?"
Yu Linglong's face showed shock, "The Princess is not versed in medicine, how could you let her meddle? Thankfully, nothing serious happened this time."
Her implication was clear—if something serious had occurred, it was unlikely that Feng Jinrui would be fine now.
Consort Jin suddenly felt terrified, "She sneaked in and secretly medicated Ruirui. That damned..."
She paused, not wanting to lose her dignity as a consort in front of Miss Yu.
She barely managed to suppress her anger.
"Fortunately, Miss Yu arrived in time, or the consequences would have been unthinkable."
She looked back at Feng Yexuan, adding quickly, "Our Prince Residence is truly grateful to Miss Yu."
"Miss Yu must be tired, Xuanxuan, escort her back to rest," Consort Jin said.
Feng Yexuan, expressionless, responded, "Good."
The two left Yujing Garden without speaking to each other along the way.
When they arrived at Wuxia Pavilion, where Yu Linglong stayed, Feng Yexuan was about to leave.
But Yu Linglong suddenly spoke up, stopping him, "Prince."
Feng Yexuan stopped, "What is it?"
Her habitual professional demeanor made Yu Linglong feel very aggrieved inside.
Nevertheless, she took a step forward and met his gaze.
"Consort Jin had the Prince bring me here... Doesn't the Prince understand what she means?"
"This prince does not understand," Feng Yexuan said, his words were clear and cold, truly devoid of any emotions.
It seemed as if he really did not understand, or rather, he simply did not want to bother to think more about it.
Yu Linglong bit her lower lip, having restrained herself for so many years, all the way until he was married.
But tonight, she didn't want to hold back any longer.
Consort Jin was right—if she had been proactive earlier, by now, the title of Princess Yexuan might belong to someone else.
Yu Linglong looked at him and finally mustered the courage to say, "Prince, over all these years, has the Prince truly not understood Linglong's feelings for you?"
